Cam Payne's statistical night on the court started with an assist to Deandre Ayton for an easy two points, the Phoenix Suns' first two of Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Tuesday night. His own first two points came on a reverse layup 45 seconds later.
Then came a 3-pointer, and the confidence in scoring was there for the 26-year-old guard asked to help facilitate the Suns' attack with Chris Paul out due to health and safety protocols.
Payne went on to score 29 points and dish out nine assists in the Suns' thrilling 104-103 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, taking a 2-0 lead in the series.
